Actually I was tossing up whether to buy the Ferrari 458 or the Bugatti Veyron, but that will depend on what job they give me at the pulp mill.

I also have my eye on a nice little island and a launch to cover any to and fro that may be required, or do you think its better just to have a Gulfstream V and carve a runway instead?

The beautiful thing with this pulp mill is that its all about options.

I’m a little miffed though, as the world has missed this little secret for the last seven years and now with this grand tour in full swing, everyone will be gathering for pie.

It may restict my purchase somewhat if someone else finds out that this pulp mill thing really is a winner.

May have to settle for a 599 GTB instead and I suppose there’s not much shame there, but I really wouldn’t want a second hand jet though….

It will be a very brief tour as there is mothing there! No doubt the Chamber of Commerce has accepted everything that Gunns has told them as the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth! If they think local people will be employed look at the fencing of the site which was done by guys from Victoria bringing sll supplies over with them! Besides which, show us the money Gunns! And while you’re at it pay all those contractors you owe money to.

I don’t suppose that there’ll be a grand piano on site somewhere?Bugger,now’t for me there!

The only piece of the pie local contractors would get would be the crumbs

That’s funny - I can’t find any mention of this in Gunns’ statements to the ASX. Would have thought that the project was to be started in 3/4 weeks would be quite market sensitive. Yet they’re keeping it all secret. Wonder why? I’ll write to the ASX and ask them.

I’m sure there will be a donation tin at the gate for the Chamber’s many hungry pie eaters, “it’s just to cover the expense of paper plates, serviettes, sauce etc you’ll understand, about 2.5 billion should cover it”
